Weren't they still releasing the Blu-Rays until like... August or something? Even if we're getting a second season, I think we're like a year and a half early as far as air time goes. I dunno about how far in advance series are usually announced before airing, though.

... Though in any event, more Nanami or Ryuunosuke getting tortured is not something I can say no to. ^^

Less than 2 weeks until the last novel comes out! I really want to read it but my japanese isn't that puro and since I haven't seen any progress being made on the english translation for the remaining novels either it does kinda fell like meh ...

Regardless, I'm happy that the last novel is coming out soon although I do prefer if there was one more volume to come (if there's not enough material for a season 2) but I think they can still manage it since as far as I know they only covered like 1/4 of the sidestories from the novels in the anime means that there's plenty of room left.

So a season 2? Definitely yes and I'd like to see more Mashiro x Sorata, especially Mashiro since her character development in season 1 wasn't that "deep" and now when both she and Sorata is starting to have feelings for each other and Mashiro is starting to show more of her feelings <3 <3 <3 I can't wait for it to be animated. Really want more so go season 2!

Two weeks for the last novel? July 23rd so more like 3.5 Finally listed on amazon! I swear I looked last night and it wasn't there! They make me make so many bloody orders all the time because unlike discs they only solicit books for sale with no time left. Very annoying!

But what do you mean nothing much has happened in novels 8-9? I have enjoyed them even though a lot is about Sorata's game there are character and relationship developments as well. Looking forward to 10 however. There is a bonus novel with BD1 as well, onsen time!

And with BD6 there is ... Nanohanasou! Mashiro's first manga volume! So sweet! I was surprised by it, I didn't realize it would be with this volume! So pleased... I just wish there was more, just 40 pages.

BD7 includes a Nyaporon extra! Can't wait!

Oh I read from dengeki that they'll release it on the 10th July, here's the link. Assuming "2013年7月10日発売" is the release date ^^ but I could be wrong. Anyway, I just hope that they make an announcement about season 2 as soon as possible so I don't have this bad feeling inside me which is kinda disturbing :(

And sorry what I meant was the english translation for the novels (typo fixed) since it's stuck at volume 5 at the moment . But yeah who am I to blame there's only one person working on the translation.

:O The last novel only has 40 pages?

No, the last novel is not 40 pages. The bonus Mashiro manga with Bluray volume 6 is 40 pages.

Lots happens in novels 7-9, I am looking forward to the finale in 10.

Edit: I goofed, I had the wrong entry on amazon

CDJapan says July 10th but then says may take 1-2 weeks after release date. Hmm... which to use???http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=NEOBK-1510751
I used to be an exclusive amazon buyer but lately they have either not listed some stuff or refused to sell me some stuff due to regional restrictions so I have started using CDJapan. Just not sure what their may take 1-2 more weeks means, that would make it 10+14=24 about amazon's estimate.

Ayeee if you plan to buy them please DO tell me about them ^^. I wonder what the bonus Mashiro manga is about :O

I have all the novels and discs so far so of course I'm getting volume 10. Just a matter of from where... if somewhere really has it on July 10th then that would be best.

As for the manga... bonus manga spoilers obviously!

Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide

It is role reversal/swapping between actual Sakurasou residents and fictional ones inside the manga inside the book/show. The heroine is a female version of Sorata kind of like Mashiro called Yui while the 'pet' is a boy acting like Mashiro called Yuuto but looking like Sorata. She has to take care of him instead, has to pick his boxer shorts for him etc. It is very cute. She says she is leaving Nanohanasou, just like Sorata. But then they have to clean graffiti off the outside and Yuuto paints a beautiful mural and they start to get along so she says she will stay after all but... he has to pick out his own boxer shorts pantsu! Too cute!

Glad to see that someone is actually supporting the show. I really want to buy all the novels and maybe the BDs/CD as well just for the sake of it even though I don't know japanese, but since I'm not eligble to buy them because of my age makes it such an unfortunate. Oh man I can't imagine how much you spent on all the merchandise anyhow I truly admire you ^^.

Oh now that you mention Sorata and his games, were the novels(7-9) for the most part about him trying to give gaming a shot again and fight through the obstacles like in season 1? That was very painful to watch when he failed and I hate to say this but I really don't want to see it again if they were to make a season 2 and was there more than Sorata and his game what about the other residents and Mashiro? But other than that I hope volume 10 will be a blast to read and of course a good ending and happy couple.

Can't believe that I forgot about Mashiros manga thought it was something completely different xD

The new students and Yuuko coming to Sakurasou, Nanami going home, Jin popping in once in a while... Sorata's game development does better next time with Dragon programming, new student of music doing the music.

Sorata and Mashiro start dating. It is very cute and funny their dates!

The new music student asks Rita to marry him but her heart is set on Dragon!
